Abstract (en)

[origin: WO2021006915A1] A multiview backlight having applications in a multiview display employs an array of multibeam elements located a predetermined distance below a top surface of a light guide in the multiview backlight. The multibeam elements may be configured to scatter out through the top surface a portion of guided light from the light guide as directional light beams having different principal angular directions corresponding to different views of the multiview display. For example, the multibeam elements each may comprise one or more of a diffraction grating, a micro-reflective element, and a micro-refractive element. Moreover, the multiview display may include an array of light valves configured to modulate the directional light beams as a multiview image to be displayed by the multiview display, and the predetermined distance may be greater than one quarter of a size of a light valve of the set of light valves.
